Lespedeza 
A new plant in the North and so far its cultivation is mostly in the 
experimental stage. It is a legume that thrives on poor acid soil with- 
out lime. The plants are bushy and spreading, growing close to the 
ground. The leaves resemble clover but are much smaller. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
This is a great crop for 
hogs and sheep. In from 8

daily mowing, producing 20

acre. Covers the ground 
and chokes out the weeds.

No. 1 Minnesota Certified 
EXTRA EARLY COBBLER, IRISH COBBLER. One of the 
most reliable, first early Potatoes ever sent out. It ripens almost with 
the Early Ohio and is so uniform that every hill seems to ripen at one 
time. The yield is very large for an early variety, equal to some of 
the late ones. Form oval and round, skin slightly netted, creamy white, 
having eyes which are quite shallow, some even with the surface. Flesh 
pure white and of finest quality and its very handsome appearance has 
brought it right to the front as a profitable variety for market or for 
home use. 
EARLY OHIO. We have an extra early choice stock of this 
variety, seed selected from year to year. 
RURAL NEW YORKER. This well known Potato holds its 
own for the greatest yielding Potato of all. We grew a large field of 
these this year, carefully doctored and of certified seed, and we have a 
wonderful lot of seed to offer this season to our customers. It is, of 
course, a late main crop sort maturing well in all sections and we 
think if you are interested in getting a good start you had better 
order some of these at this time. Sacked free. 
Sand Vetch 
We could not supply our demands for this seed last year. Does well on 
sandy land, worn-out land, or anywhere else. Of course, better land pro- 
duces better crops. 
Sudan Grass 
This forage crop is of immense value to the South or any section not 
sufficiently supplied with rainfall. It is a great drought resister and 
makes an excellent quality of hay. Grows from 5 to 9 feet tall and stools 
freely when given plenty of room or after cutting. Do not sow until 
the ground has become thoroughly warm. 16 to 24 pounds to the acre 
broadcast, or 4 to 6 pounds in drills, 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Grasses 
ALLEN’S PASTURE GRASS. Price on application. 
ALLEN’S MEADOW MIXTURE. Price on application. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. Also known as June Grass. A 
valuable variety for lawns when mixed with other grasses, and espe- 
cially valuable as a pasture grass. About three bushels to the acre 
for pasture. (14 lbs. to the bushel.) 
RED TOP GRASS. Grows well 
moist land. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A valuable grass for pasture, for sowing 
in orchards or shady places. It grows rapidly and does not suffer from 
close feeding. When sown alone, 3 bushels should be sown to the acre; 
14 Ibs. to the bushel.

Soy Beans 
MANCHU. This is today the popular Soy Bean in all the states 
of the Middle West and the most valuable. It has jumped into promi- 
nence ahead of everything else and is fast displacing other varieties. 
Early enough to fully mature under ordinary conditions and large 
enough to be of real value. It is a medium early variety, nearly as 
early as Ito San and quite a little larger. Originally from Northern 
Manchuria. Seeds yellow with a peculiar black seed scar. 
Canada Field Peas 
in all soils, especially so on 
Canada Field Peas should be sown in April, weather permitting. 
They make large yields of most nutritious hay, cut either green 
or cured for hay. They should be sown 1 to 11% bushels per acre, 
with 1 bushel spring oats. 
On account of their extreme hardiness they can be sown earlier 
than any other legume crop, furnishing an excellent crop of hay 
or serving the purpose of a green fertilizer.
